Hi
Welcome to HCM
Hope you are giving a proper dose of crocin DS. It's better to go for a crocin tablet (1 tab) as per his weight as the recommended dose is 10-15 mg/kg of body weight.
For such high grade fever not responding to crocin, try using Sup Meftal P at 7.5 ml every 8hour. In case he continues to have high grade fever after 1 day, do consult your physician for proper clinical examination and laboratory tests if required based on examination.
